Dier, however moved to the club as a defender and moved in to the midfield as Spurs lacked a solid defensive midfielder.

He said that the disappointment is growing in the squad due to recent results especially as “we controlled the game from start to finish.”

Singling out the game at the weekend, Dier commented: “We know their [Leicester’s] style, so we’re very disappointed because we didn’t create more chances and obviously didn’t score enough goals.”

Spurs guilty of being wasteful in front of goal

However, is it a lack of chances or Spurs being wasteful? In the last three Premier League games, Tottenham have scored two goals despite having had 58 shots at goal with only 17 on target, suggesting that Spurs aren’t being clever with their chances.

This is further emphasised by the fact that Spurs haven’t scored from open play in all competitions since their draw with West Brom. Dier added that as a team they will “keep improving the way we play, try to get better and try to start winning games.”

Spurs face Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League on Wednesday before travelling to the Emirates Stadium for the North London derby against Arsenal on Sunday.
